Recent Work: Rain Monste

This is another piece for my Color Theory class. I went a little bit bigger than my usual minuscule scale for this one...about 5 inches square. It's got raised layers to add a bit of a third dimension to an otherwise 2-D work.

New Works: SpaceMan

The latest assignment for my color theory class was to create a digital work that dealt with art. So I took the Space Man I did for the limited palette assignment, and made a gif:

I can't WAIT to make more janky gifs.

Recent works: color theory assignment: optical mixing

*Sorry for the untimeliness of this post. The house I'm sitting is having some ridiculous internet connectivity issues, and I'm not sure how to correct it.

For the optical mixing assignment in my color theory class, I decided to do something I hadn't done in a very long time, if ever: a self-portrait based on life. Taken from a picture for a transit pass in Prague from the summer of 2010, I stayed true to the structure of my face rather than just giving myself one huge eye and gumdrop teeth. I made myself green, because, well...I couldn't make it completely serious. 

The point of this assignment was to use two or more colors in a way that from a distance they appear to be a certain color, but when you get near, you can see the distinct colors laying next to each other. Think pointillism from your art history class.

Color Theory: Abstract Space

Meant to post this last night, but after spending five hours cutting and gluing hundreds of tiny pieces of paper, I needed to get my body away from my desk.
